How to suck out in stud8

[Bremen]

First one must prepare oneself for the suckage one is about to do. Remember, the bets don't matter, its coming my way. Repeat this until you actually believe it.

Second one must confuse opponents. This is normally done by shouting "Straddle" at the top of one's lungs. In stud one must be creative in employing this technique, in the hand shown hero decided to bring it in for a full bet, whilst typing "Straddle!!!". One musn't forget the vitally important aspect of alerting ones opponents they are about to be sucked on.

In addition, as this was a 2+2 table, the names of the guilty have been preserved so that the suckage may be complete.

Here hero got a bit anxious, his slowplaying technique needs improvement.

Again, hero is misplaying the suckage as villain is now pot commited and cannot fold. Fancy play syndrome at its worst.
